The painting depicts a winter scene with a snowy landscape. In the foreground, a wounded buffalo lies on the snow, with blood visible on its fur. Further away, another buffalo is on the ground, and two figures with snowshoes approach. In the background, there are rolling hills and groups of buffalo. The sky is bright cerulean with hints of pink and gray. Snow-covered pine trees are on the right. The brushstrokes are detailed for the buffalo and smoother for the snow and sky, creating a serene winter atmosphere.
